Knife supplies by knife makers.

Pops Knife Supply was started by James Poplin, already an accomplished knife maker, and his wife Kay. For four decades they served the knife making community with industry-leading prices and actual shipping costs. Keeping prices and costs down was always the focus, and it helped the knife community grow.

When James decided to retire, he hand-picked the new Pops crew: Allen Surls of W.A. Surls Knives, Joey Berry of JB Knifeworks and Dirk Loots of Dirk Loots Knives. Together they are 4Makers Inc.

Same focus, same promise

We are knife makers, and our focus stays the same. We keep margins low and only charge actual shipping costs. (Kay really beat this into us.) Our goal is to ship the quickest while keeping the lowest prices around. As makers, we know how much that matters.

Call us

If you’d rather hear a voice on the phone, we’ll gladly take your call. We don’t claim our knife making wisdom rivals James and Kay’s, but we listen, and we can help with most knife making questions. If there’s something we don’t carry or aren’t doing, tell us.

In memory of James Poplin

We lost a master craftsman and a pillar of the knife community. James was our friend and mentor and served knife makers for 42 years. He is missed.
